Decided to reconnect with the clean sound of the instrument, so this is quite different from this month’s patient music attempts. No drums, no synth, no looping, no effects: just clean Stick. This takes me about five years back, although I certainly hope I’ve gotten a bit better. One thing is the same: another long recording, at 20:05 (9.19 MB).

Not that you’d know it from the intro, in which I speak more quickly than usual, but I finally managed to slow it down. Patient music at last. Music starts at 2:58, and the entire recording is 21:11 (9.70 MB).

Links: I thanked Zak and Juan, but did I name their podcasts? Apologies if not; of course, I was speaking of StickWorld Podcast and Strada-Sphere Radio. Also, check out kataStatik, who recently released a 70-minute improv and finally has an RSS feed/podcast of his own.

Comments are off. In the history of the site, I’ve gotten 8 legitimate comments, a trackback from myself, and dozens of comment spam attempts. WordPress provides a lot of ways to avoid comment spam, but one asks: why bother? The original Notes From The Mind Of… might have become a dialogue, but it never did, and Nascent Music didn’t either; I observe that the other two Stick podcasts also support comments, and also don’t get any. Their feedback comes from emails, and I encourage those as well. My email address is in this podcast, and you’re welcome to email any thoughts you may have. So, with thanks to those who have commented so far, we bid adieu to this largely unneeded feature of Nascent Music.

If you can read this, then you’ve made it to the new host.  Leave a comment or send email if you have any trouble.

Comments have been disabled on all posts but this one.  More on that later.

New podcast due in a few days.

Intended to do a patient piece, but just didn’t have it in me. As usual. Despite the length, this one has a lot of song elements, although the song would be from 1983.

The perils of changing so much around: apparently I don’t know how loud anything is, how close the mics need to be, or which button shouldn’t be pushed. Despite several sound issues, this one was going so well that I well that I was really upset to hear it stop abruptly when I accidentally killed the loop. Curse my clumsy metal body!

On a day without motivation, lack of motivation becomes the subject of meditation.
